On Thursday I went to the Memorial of a work friend, another snatched too early by the dreaded cancer. Another having been successfully, it was thought, treated, with the removal of an eye. When all the time it was eating her from the inside. She was 72, but perfectly healthy apart from the cancer. The do was very well attended, I went with Jacquie and Kelly, all of us a tad tearful. Her employers hosted the event, and did her and her family proud. I found out, from her son's speech, that she had actually worked for that same family, in the same hotel group, from the age of 18. Such amazing loyalty both ways. her son spoke glowingly of the help and comfort both the company and her work colleagues were in the family's time of need.

Found, well, I've found a lot of my old self this week, and ways to plan like a bloody demon again! I am once again cooking on gas, bwahahahahaha!
